CREATING A STIR IN 2012 Tax cuts and redistricting were the big news this legislative session, but don’t forget these 10 buzzworthy items from the past year

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — The 2012 legislative session, which officially ended Friday, will most likely be remembered for passage of an historic tax cut and a redistricting mess that continues to be played out.

Signed budget includes funding for arts

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

3: Court furloughs

TOPEKA — One year ago, Gov. Sam Brownback stunned arts advocates nationwide by vetoing funding for the Kansas Arts Commission.

But on Friday, Brownback, without comment, signed into law a state budget that will include $700,000 for a new Creative Arts Industries Commission.

“It’s a big win for Kansas,” said Sarah Fizell, spokeswoman for Kansas Citizens for the Arts.

In 2011, Brownback defied legislators by applying a line- Brownback item veto to the $689,000 appropriation for the Arts Commission, saying that public tax dollars shouldn’t go to the arts.

The action made Kansas the first state to stop state funding of the arts, and Kansas lost $1.3 million in federal and regional matching funds.

The veto caused a public outcry and reports that many arts initiatives, especially in rural areas, had to scale back their programs.

When the 2012 legislative session started, Brownback proposed merging the unfunded Arts Commission and

City Commission to consider downtown surveillance cameras

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Whether it’s for massive Final Four celebrations or late-night Massachusetts Street scuffles, local law enforcement leaders are seeking to add police-controlled surveillance cameras in down-

town Lawrence.

City commissioners at their Tuesday meeting will be asked to allow the Lawrence Police Department and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office to use $46,800 in grant money to purchase up to two surveillance cameras and necessary hardware to in-

The use of gaming revenues will count as public funds for purposes of attracting grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Fizell said.

She said several other states have a similar funding and structural model. If the new commission is able to get a statewide arts plan in order and submitted, it could start receiving matching funds again in July 2013, she said.

Fizell said she was pleased the fight over arts funding appeared to be over.

“It was solved in a way that was very collaborative. I think publicly fund-

ed art is important for the state of Kansas, and this was an enormous effort by the advocates across the state who made this happen,” she said.

Funds lacking for Capitol visitors center

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — The approximately $320 million Statehouse renovation project has resulted in new offices for legislators, elegantly restored House and Senate chambers and showcase meeting rooms.

But a proposed visitors center remains undone and funds are not available to finish it, officials said Friday.

“Does not make us look very good,” House Minority Leader Paul Davis, DLawrence, said. He said the center was the primary part of the “people’s building” dedicated to helping visitors enjoy touring the historic Capitol.

Senate President Steve Morris, R-Hugoton, said he wants to explore options to get the center finished.

He said the state should consider soliciting private funds for the project or issuing bonds that would be repaid with private funds.

“It’s an integral part of this majestic building,” Morris said. “We can’t have a glaring hole on the north side of the building.”

Statehouse Architect Barry Greis said contingency funds in the renovation project have been depleted with major repairs needed for the roof and dome.

Statehouse renovation has been going on since 2001 when early estimates put the cost of the project between $90 million and $120 million.

But there have been expensive additions to the project, including an underground parking garage, expansion of basement offices, repairs to exterior stone and now roof and dome work.

TOPEKA — The Kansas Legislature adjourned Friday without making one last try to approve a congressional redistricting map that would put a portion of Lawrence in the 1st District.

Prior to the ceremonial final day of the 2012 session, legislative leaders speculated there would be a motion made in the Senate to concur with a House-approved map that put east Lawrence, one of the most liberal areas of the state, in the vast 1st, which covers western Kansas and most of central Kansas, and is one of the most conservative districts in the country.

Such a motion would have required 21 votes, and 37 of 40 senators showed up, more than the number who traditionally attend the last day of the session.

But no motion came.

“I assume because there weren’t the votes to pass it,” said Senate President Steve Morris, R-Hugoton.

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, agreed.

Because of the failure by the Legislature and Gov. Sam Brownback to agree on congressional, legislative and State Board of Education redistricting, the maps are being drawn by a panel of three federal judges.

“It’s up to the courts to decide now what the map looks like,” Hensley said.

“It’s very likely there will be a congressional map that will have Douglas County back in the 2nd District,” he said.

Lawrence is currently divided between the 2nd and 3rd congressional districts.

Missing man found dead

By George Diepenbrock and Shaun Hittle gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com; sdhittle@ljworld.com

Douglas County authorities Friday identified 23-year-old former Kansas University student Yelekal Alemu as the person whose body was found Thursday east of Lawrence. “ O u r thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Alemu’s family who has been notified of Alemu his death,” said Sgt. Steve Lewis, a Douglas County Sheriff’s spokesman.

Alemu had been missing for nearly three weeks.

Lewis said Friday morning a Lawrence police officer who was conducting a follow-up investigation into Alemu’s disappearance found the body in a wooded area south of the Wakarusa River, near Douglas County Road 1057. Coroner’s investigators used dental records to make the identification.

“The investigation indicates there’s no foul play,” Lewis said.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence police spokesman, said Friday afternoon that officers had notified Alemu’s family that a body had been found in the general area Alemu’s car had been found. He last was seen alive May 12.

“We have kept in contact with Mr. Alemu’s family on any leads that have come up (in the case),” McKinley said.

comes from a family of educators. Her father was a college professor and her mother a teacher.

Her brother Ken Highfill taught biology at Lawrence High School. She also married a teacher, Larrie Scott, who taught vocational education and driver’s education courses at LHS. A graduate of Southwestern College, Scott started teaching in 1959 at her high school alma mater, where some of her siblings still attended. In 1966, she moved to Lawrence and spent two years teaching business education at West Junior High School and another eight years at LHS. “She had a real caring attitude toward all students and was willing to give the time to make it possible to have activities,” said Bill Medley, who was principal at LHS during Scott’s tenure.

Medley also had Scott in a high school psychology class in Winfield and then helped bring her back to that school to begin teaching.

“It was a pretty easy decision to make,” Medley said of giving Scott her first job.

From teacher to administrator At Lawrence High, Scott taught a roomful of 55 students how to type.

And while electric typewriters were on the market then, schools couldn’t afford to buy them in large quantities.

“Those were the days that the philosophy was you could handle any number of students,” Scott said of the large classroom.

With so many students, Scott could grade one set of papers a night, which met students could get about one grade per week.

public’s help in finding Alemu, who was last enrolled as a KU student last fall. He had been reported missing by friends May 12 after he failed to show up for an important family gathering that weekend.

Police found his car undamaged southeast of Lawrence shortly after he was reported missing, and officers conducted several searches in that rural area east of Lawrence.

Senanem Gizaw, Alemu’s friend since kindergarten, said Alemu, who most recently worked as a cook at Buffalo Wild Wings in Lawrence, was smart and well-liked.

“Life of the party,” said Gizaw, in short, muted clips a couple of days before Alemu’s body was discovered. “People gravitated toward him.”

Alemu’s family — originally from Ethiopia — live in the Kansas City area, Gizaw said.

Gizaw was the last known person to see Alemu, who left their house near the KU campus early on the morning of May 12.

When Alemu didn’t show up for the family gathering, his mother called Gizaw, expressing concern.

“I wasn’t really worried about it at that time,” Gizaw said. But after a few more hours, everyone became concerned, as Alemu being out of contact was “uncharacteristic.”

Gizaw made the police report, and later that night police — tracking Alemu’s cellphone — found his abandoned Toyota Yaris on private property southeast of Lawrence.

class, and of course the class was about that long in minutes, was the ability to give attention to each student,” she said.

Learning how to manage those students gave Scott confidence to move into an administrative position.

“I thought if I could handle 55 teenagers an hour, I might have the skills to be a school administrator,” Scott said.

In 1976, Scott became the assistant principal at West and then its principal in 1981. It was a position she would have for four years.

“She had great organizational abilities and, like any administrator, was willing to work hard. So when teachers saw her willing to give time and effort to make things better, many of them came on board to do the same thing,” Medley said.

While female administrators were common in elementary schools, at that time they were still rare at the secondary level. When applying for the job, Scott was asked if she thought she could keep discipline in the school, something she thought was an interesting question because mothers back then were the ones who usually did the discipline.

“I did feel a real sense of responsibility. In the back of my mind I was thinking if you flub this, you mess it up for all kinds of women who want to do it as well,” Scott said. It was also during her time at West that, Scott remembers, one of her teachers pursued a grant to start a computer lab in the school.

“It just seemed like from that point on everything changed,” Scott said of the new technology.

‘Really special’ The second half of Scott’s career focused on representing the state’s school administrators.

She spent 18 years at the United School Administrators of Kansas as associate executive director

wasn’t certain of my feelings in that regard, if cremation was his wish, I vowed to make his memorial something more.

As I pondered how to do that, I recalled how excited Steve was years ago when creator of “Star Trek” Gene Roddenberry’s ashes were shot into space. Since then, I knew NASA had also launched the ashes of a few former astronauts and celebrities, but questioned whether posthumous space travel was available to the general population. If so, it would be the ultimate memorial for anyone who loved “the final frontier.”

Steve’s lifelong love affair with all things celestial began with his first view of Sputnik passing overhead. From that time on, nothing space-related ever missed his attention.

In fact, because of Steve, I was probably aware of the Challenger disaster before many media. He had arranged to watch the only channel offering live coverage of what was becoming a routine event. Just seconds after the explosion, he called me at work, emotionally recounting what he had just seen.

Although we always made important decisions together, I know that if he had been offered an opportunity to fly on the next space shuttle, I would not have even been consulted.

After researching possibilities for launching ashes into space, we discovered Celestis Inc., the sole company to offer posthumous space travel. Founded by Charles Chafer, who was born in Topeka, to a Kansas University alumnus, Celestis had been offering memorial space flights for 20 years. While various options existed, it was easy to choose Earth’s orbit so Steve could symbolically watch over us.

When my “wannabe” asand executive director.

During that time, she put on professional development trainings across the state and lobbied on behalf of school administrators.

Medley said Scott could call many of those administrators by their first name.

“Her ability to meet and know people and remember people is just amazing,” he said.

In 2003, Scott retired.

Then in 2010, she returned to part-time work when the Kansas Association of Retired School Personnel asked her to become its executive director.

Of all the places and positions Scott has had, among her favorite memories in education were teaching two one-handed girls how to type. Early in her career, Scott was at a conference in Chicago where information was provided on teaching onearmed students.

One of the girls went to West and was ready to join the beginning typing class after three weeks of after-school work with Scott.

The other student went to Valley Center, where Scott’s mother taught. Her mother promised the girl in elementary school that her daughter would teach her how to type one day.

In high school, the girl contacted Scott, who by that time was a principal at West. Over several long weekends, Scott taught that girl how to type until she was ready to enroll in regular classes.

“They were both so good at it,” Scott said about what she calls one of her prouder moments in teaching.

As for being named into the Kansas Teachers’ Hall of Fame, Scott said she is left a bit speechless.

“It’s just really special,” she said.

Scott is the ninth Lawrence educator to be named into the state’s hall of fame.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

tronaut husband was told that I would send some of his ashes into space, I was rewarded with one of his biggest smiles. My promise was made.

For more than five years, I awaited an Earth’s orbit launch from within the United States. During that time, lessons were learned about the fragility of space launches and the necessity of patience. At one point, my oldest son jokingly requested that I no longer call him because that meant another delay.

When the launch finally occurred, I had experienced numerous projected launch times, three actual scheduled dates, and even an aborted launch just three days earlier. But whatever the cost for multiple airline ticket and accommodation changes for myself, my sons, Christopher and Ryan, and daughter-in-law, Erin, I vowed we would not miss this event.

Six of us, including my sister and brother-in-law, Marsha and Ray Goff, arrived in Cocoa Beach on a Thursday expecting to see the launch on early Saturday morning. To our delight, the 4:55 a.m. launch time meant that the 19-story Falcon 9 rocket was already on the launch pad and could be viewed by touring Kennedy Space Center on Friday. A memorial service for the participants and dinner with a former astronaut added to our anticipation that the launch was finally going to occur.

Unfortunately, the launch was aborted at the half-second mark, and only about half of those who came to see their loved ones become post-

humous space travelers could stay for the successful event three days later.

But those three days became an opportunity to meet other family members of participants who were as resolute as I in seeing this happen. Among those remaining was Wende Doohan, widow of James Doohan who is best known for playing Scotty from the original “Star Trek” series, and their 12-year-old daughter, Sarah.

With the launch rescheduled for 3:44 a.m.

Tuesday, Celestis again provided refreshments with a party atmosphere, and arranged for rooftop viewing with a large screen to capture current activity and speakers to broadcast the countdown.

Although the sleep-deprived crowd was more subdued than at the previous launch attempt, excitement began to increase at 30 minutes to lift off.

Several of us chose to

view the launch away from lights by standing on the jetty. We could not hear the official countdown, but many used watches or the clocks on cellphones to track time for lift-off.

Finally, the sudden flash of engines firing beneath the rocket indicated that what we had come to see was finally going to happen. In a matter of seconds, the rocket began to rise as a bright star ascending to the heavens.

Cheers erupted, followed quickly by silence as we stared in awe.

We continued to watch breathlessly as our loved ones began their journey into space. Some cried, others high-fived or hugged. I didn’t cry as I expected, but instead a big smile crossed my face just as it had Steve’s when he learned that he would be “born anew as an astronaut.”

I simply threw one arm skyward and shouted, “Ad Astra, Steve.”

SOUND OFF

Q:

When weed killer is applied around Sunflower and Southwest schools, why aren’t signs put up to warn people?

A:

“Groundskeepers and contractors working for the Lawrence school district post warning signs for 24 hours after spraying Roundup weed killer around school buildings.

They do not spray when schools are in session, when people or pets are in the area, on windy days or within 100 feet of gardens,” said Roger Paschke, the district’s grounds supervisor.

“If a patron believes these safety precautions are not being followed, please report it to the district’s facilities and maintenance division by calling 832-5975.”

In a reversal of recent trends, the majority of contested races in Douglas County this year will be at the township level.

Friday was the filing deadline for township and county positions.

Just one race on the county level developed.

Eudora Republican Frank Male is running against Lawrence Democratic incumbent Nancy Thellman for the 2nd District County Commission seat.

Incumbents are running uncontested for the 3rd District County Com-

mission seat, county clerk, register of deeds, county treasurer and county sheriff races. Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson, who has served two terms as the county’s top prosecutor, is also running uncontested.

But more races are contested in the town-

“Since I have been here there has not been that much activity,” Shew said.

“And it is spread throughout the county.”

Just one township po-

Ex-council member running for county seat

By Shawn Linenberger slinenberger@theworldco.info

TONGANOXIE — A Tonganoxie City Council member will face off in a Leavenworth County Commission race against the former city administrator whose contract he voted not to renew.

Tonganoxie City Council member Dennis Bixby, 51, a Tonganoxie Republican, will meet Mike Yanez, 62, a Tonganoxie Democrat, in the November general election for the 3rd District commission seat.

Friday was the filing deadline for this year’s election, with some candidates filing in the days before the deadline, according to County Clerk Janet Klasinski.

On a 3-2 vote, the Tonganoxie City Council voted not to renew Yanez’s contract. He was retained on a part-time basis from January until mid-May when a new city administrator was hired. Bixby, 51, filed in late March; Yanez, 62, filed on Thursday.

Basehor Republican John Flower, current 3rd District commissioner, is not seeking re-election.

ON THE RECORD

In the sheriff’s race, Andy Dedeke, a rural Easton Republican, will meet Burdel Welsh, a Tonganoxie Democrat.

Dedeke, 41, serves as captain in the sheriff’s office; Welsh worked two stints in the sheriff’s office, including five years an undersheriff. Dedeke, 41, filed for the seat in February; Welsh, 55, a former Tonganoxie City Council member, filed Thursday.

Sheriff Dave Zoellner, a Leavenworth Democrat, did not seek re-election.

Other contested races are:

County attorney: incumbent Todd Thompson, 36, R-Leavenworth, against Patrick Cahill, 55, D-Leavenworth.

County treasurer: incumbent Janice Dickson, 46, R-Leavenworth, against Thomas Koch, 50, D-Leavenworth.

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT

• Douglas County prosecutors Friday filed four misdemeanor charges against a 26-year-old Lawrence man after a domestic disturbance early Friday morning in the 1600 block of West Ninth Street.

Prosecutors filed charges of domestic battery, intimidation of a victim, criminal restraint and criminal damage to property for damaging a door frame, against William John Albert Thomas.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence police spokesman, said the suspect, Thomas, was accused of committing domestic battery and restricting the victim’s movements and preventing her from using a phone to call for help. McKinley said police also alleged Thomas had forced entry into the woman’s residence, as he was initially arrested on charges of kidnapping and aggravated burglary.

His next hearing is scheduled

for Monday.

• A Lawrence woman told police that Thursday night in the 2400 block of Ousdahl Road an unknown man came to her door. He appeared intoxicated and produced a knife and began waving it around in a threatening manner when she asked him to leave, said Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence police spokesman. The woman closed to the door, and the man left the area before officers arrived about 10:20 p.m.

Thursday.

INJURY ACCIDENT • One person injured in a fall at Centennial Park on Thursday evening was flown via helicopter ambulance to a Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan., said Eve Tolefree, a LawrenceDouglas County Fire Medical spokeswoman. The incident happened near Sixth Street and Rockledge Drive, on the northwest side of the park.

Jefferson County primaries set A former Jefferson County commissioner will challenge Sheriff Jeff Herrig in the August Republican primary.

David Christy, of Meriden, who served as a commissioner from 2005 to 2009 before he was defeated in a 2008 primary, filed to run against Herrig.

Herrig, of Valley Falls, in 2008 took over for longtime Sheriff Roy Dunnaway when he retired.

Christy is a retired agent with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.

According to the Jefferson County Clerk’s Office, Republicans Kyle G. Brown, of Grantville, and Wayne Ledbetter, of Perry, will also square off in the Aug. 7 primary election for the County Commission 2nd District seat because Dunnaway, who has served as a county commissioner since retiring as sheriff, did not file for reelection.

The other remaining incumbent county officials, all Republicans, do not have opponents. They are 3rd District Commissioner Richard Malm; County Clerk Linda M. Buttron; Treasurer Mary F. Underwood; Register of Deeds Delia Heston; and County Attorney Jason Belveal.

Brownback signs bill limiting funding on remedial courses

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — A bill aimed at helping college students who fall below minimum admissions standards to succeed and also halting state funding of remedial courses has been signed into law by Gov. Sam Brownback.

The measure prohibits state funding for remedial courses at Kansas University and other regents universities. But the ban wouldn’t take effect until Aug. 15, 2015, and state funding would still be allowed for students in military service, 21 years of age or older and international students who need

remedial English.

In addition, after that effective date, universities could provide the courses from other funding sources if they wanted.

KU offers one remedial course, intermediate algebra, which has an average of 900 students enrolled each fall.

The new law also would set up an individual plan for each student who is admitted to a regents university through the “exception window.”

Schools are allowed to admit 10 percent of their students who fail to meet minimum admission standards.

The measure reduces the exception percent-

ages at KU, Kansas State and Wichita State to 5 percent of the freshman class, and leaves it at 10 percent at Emporia State, Fort Hays State and Pittsburg State.

But in practice, all the schools are using the exception window at a lower rate than those set in the law. Emporia State is at 8.1 percent; Pittsburg State, 7.1 percent; and Fort Hays State, 6.8 percent. Kansas State was at 3.7 percent; Wichita State, 1.6 percent; and KU had the lowest rate of admitting students under the exception at 0.4 percent.

Kansas private-sector employment added 13,900 jobs since March.

Kansas unemployment claims in April decreased from 17,997 in March to 14,701 in April.

New principal of middle school named and I think that will allay last seen her about 2 a.m.

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

WICHITA — A 12-year-old Kansas girl was found safe in Michigan on Friday, a day after her parents said they believed she left her home with a Canadian man she met on the Internet.

The girl and a man were stopped while driving Friday afternoon southwest of Lansing, Michigan State Police Lt. T.J. Riegle said. Riegle said both were being held as police “sort things out.”

“I am so thankful that she has been found and is safe

many people’s concerns tonight,” said Butler County Attorney Darrin Devinney in Kansas. Devinney confirmed the girl was found safe but had no details of the circumstances.

“Obviously, law enforcement needs to visit with people involved,” Devinney said.

He said he did not know Friday whether any charges would be filed.

Police Chief Tom Boren in El Dorado, Kan., said earlier that the girl’s parents told investigators they had

Thursday and believed she had left her home with Kenneth Stewart McGill, 20, of Ontario, Canada.

They reported her missing about 12 hours later.

“We don’t understand that completely at this point,” Boren said of the delay.

“I don’t quite follow,” he added, “and my supposition would be that maybe they didn’t understand that this was going on, or maybe thought she was with a girlfriend or something. I don’t know.”

West Middle School assistant principal Jeff Harkin has been named the new principal of Liberty Memorial Central Middle School.

Harkin will replace Anna Stubblefield, who oversaw Liberty Memorial Central for four years and was promoted to the district’s division director of human resources.

Come fall, Harkin will have spent time in all four of the district’s middle schools. For the past three years, Harkin has been assistant principal at West.

BRIEFLY Prior to that assignment, Harkin was an assistant principal for three years at Pioneer Trail Junior High in Olathe and was an interim assistant principal for one year at Southwest.

He has also taught social studies for one year at South and 11 years at West.

For six years at West, Harkin doubled as an athletics director.

Liberty Memorial Central serves 438 sixth- to eighthgrade students.

Vehicle fire under investigation Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical investigators and Lawrence police Friday morning were outside a central Lawrence residence investigating the cause of a vehicle fire.

According to JournalWorld reporting partner Operation 100’s Mike Frizzell, dispatchers received a call about someone throwing a flaming object onto a vehicle in the 1200 block of West 20th Terrace.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence police spokesman, said the incident was not reported to officers until 7 a.m., although the fire allegedly occurred around 2 a.m. Friday. He said police were assisting fire investigators.

Investigators were at a residence near the intersection of West 20th Terrance

and Mitchell Road, which is southeast of 19th Street and Naismith Drive.

Man, 53, charged with kidnapping Douglas County prosecutors Friday charged a 53-year-old Leavenworth man in connection with a disturbance involving a handgun Thursday afternoon at a Lawrence apartment.

According to court records, prosecutors initially charged Gary COURTS Anthony Lee with kidnapping, attempted aggravated robbery and aggravated battery. Cheryl Wright, a district attorney’s office spokeswoman, said the aggravated battery charge was later dismissed but that prosecutors might re-file it under a different statute number later.

Lawrence police arrested Lee on Thursday evening as a suspect in the disturbance reported about 5 p.m. in the 2400 block of Melrose Lane. A woman reported she was threatened during the incident, but no injuries were reported. According to the charges, prosecutors accuse Lee of pointing a handgun at the woman and demanding money from her.

Lee’s bond was set at $20,000 Friday afternoon, and acting pro-tem Judge Randy McGrath scheduled his next appearance for Tuesday.

Drone warfare raises moral dilemmas WASHINGTON — A very strange story, a 6,000-word front-page New York Times piece on how, every Tuesday, Barack Obama shuffles “baseball cards” with the pictures and bios of suspected terrorists from around the world and chooses who shall die by drone strike. He even reserves for himself the decision of whether to proceed when the probability of killing family members or bystanders is significant.

The article could have been titled “Barack Obama: Drone Warrior.” Great detail on how Obama personally runs the assassination campaign. On-the-record quotes from the highest officials. This was no leak. This was a White House press release.

Why? To portray Obama as tough guy. And why now? Because in crisis after recent crisis, Obama has looked particularly weak: standing helplessly by as thousands are massacred in Syria; being played by Iran in nuclear negotiations, now reeling with the collapse of the latest round in Baghdad; being treated with contempt by Vladimir Putin, who blocks any action on Syria or Iran and adds personal insult by standing up Obama at the latter’s G-8 and NATO summits.

The Obama camp thought that any political problem with foreign policy would be cured by the Osama bin Laden operation.

But the administration’s attempt to politically exploit the raid’s

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

Moreover, there is an acute military problem.

Dead terrorists can’t talk.”

one-year anniversary backfired, earning ridicule and condemnation for its crude appropriation of the heroic acts of others.

A campaign ad had Bill Clinton praising Obama for the courage of ordering the raid because, had it failed and Americans been killed, “the downside would have been horrible for him.”

Outraged veterans released a response ad pointing out that it would have been considerably more horrible for the dead SEALs. Obama only compounded the self-aggrandizement problem when he spoke a week later about the military “fighting on my behalf.”

The Osama-slayer card having been vastly overplayed, what to do? A new card: Obama, drone warrior, steely and solitary, delivering death with cool dispatch

to the rest of the al-Qaida depth chart.

So the peacemaker, Nobel laureate, nuclear disarmer, apologizer to the world for America having lost its moral way when it harshly interrogated the very people Obama now kills, has become — just in time for the 2012 campaign — Zeus the Avenger, smiting by lightning strike.

A rather strange ethics. You go around the world preening about how America has turned a new moral page by electing a president profoundly offended

by George W. Bush’s belligerence and prisoner maltreatment, and now you’re ostentatiously telling the world that you personally play judge, jury and executioner to unseen combatants of your choosing, and whatever innocents happen to be in their company.

This is not to argue against drone attacks. In principle, they are fully justified. No quarter need be given to terrorists who wear civilian clothes, hide among civilians and target civilians indiscriminately. But it is to question the moral amnesia of those whose delicate sensibilities were offended by the Bush methods that kept America safe for a decade — and who now embrace Obama’s campaign of assassination by remote control.

Moreover, there is an acute military problem. Dead terrorists can’t talk.

Drone attacks are cheap — which is good. But the path of

A list of comparative statistics recently had been presented to Lawrence city commissioners. The cost comparison YEARS of the proposed South LawAGO rence Trafficway and the alIN 1972 ternative east Lawrence route indicated that construction of the eastern route would cost nearly twice as much as building the longer southern road.

The commission was scheduled to discuss the feasibility of an eastern bypass at its meeting tonight.

least resistance has a cost. It yields no intelligence about terror networks or terror plans.

One capture could potentially make us safer than 10 killings. But because of the moral incoherence of Obama’s war on terror, there are practically no captures anymore. What would be the point?

There’s nowhere for the CIA to interrogate. And what would they learn even if they did, Obama having decreed a new regime of kid-gloves, name-rank-and-serialnumber interrogation?

This administration came out opposing military tribunals, wanting to try Khalid Sheik Mohammed in New York, reading the Christmas Day bomber his Miranda rights and trying mightily (and unsuccessfully, there being — surprise! — no plausible alternative) to close Guantanamo. Yet alongside this exquisite delicacy about the rights of terrorists is the campaign to kill them in their beds.

You festoon your prisoners with rights — but you take no prisoners. The morality is perverse. Which is why the results are so mixed. We do kill terror operatives, an important part of the war on terror, but we gratuitously forfeit potentially lifesaving intelligence.

But that will cost us later. For now, we are to bask in the moral seriousness and cool purpose of our drone warrior president.

KUMC bus To the editor: I read with interest your May 30 editorial about the K-10 Connector bus. There is another group of people who might be interested in a similar run, people going from Lawrence Memorial Hospital to the Kansas University Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. There are those of us for whom that drive is too difficult, including the elderly and some people with cancer.

Merging those two groups could take more cars off the road, thus contributing to diminishing of highway congestion, provide a real service to a needful community, and perhaps help to keep this service available to the student community as well.

Lucy Cutler, Lawrence

Police openness To the editor: I couldn’t agree more with the Journal-World’s May 29 editorial regarding the Lawrence Police Department. The department has new leadership in place and, hopefully, has put old scandals behind it.

Now is the time for substantive change.

The LPD is asking Lawrence taxpayers to foot the bill for a new $30 million facility. If the department wants taxpayer support for this project, I believe that it must now engage in sincere strategic planning, actively solicit input from residents and submit to the administrative audit proposed to the City Commission in 2009. Anything less is a deal breaker.

It is time for the department to grow up and demonstrate to taxpayers its commitment to accountability and openness. I encourage the residents of Lawrence to communicate with the City Commission regarding this issue. Transparency within the Police Department is long overdue.

It was the best I could do, having, since the age of 11, gotten up at 5 a.m. to deliver newspapers and otherwise work 40 hours a week. School was for rest. My fate was similar to the fate of most farm boys, who had assigned chores at an early age.

At that time, the Legislature was principally composed of sons of agriculture and teachers. They understood well the ancient laws of primogenitor, wherein the eldest son inherits the farmstead, and the rest know well that their home won’t be there when they grow up. Accordingly, they needed the best education possible, and the state should help.

The best memorial to the bygone era is the KU Jimmy Green statue, where the farm boy is greeted to the law school. Times To the editor: they are a’changing.

LAWRENCE

A Kansas issue

What the Lawrence Journal-World stands for

2014. The governor says new jobs in the private sector will allow Kansas to bloom. Is it logical to think that creating those new jobs will make Kansas bloom?

The tax plan has businesses paying either no, or greatly reduced, tax. With extensive unemployment due to cutbacks in public services and then private administration of services, salaries and benefits will go down.

Lower incomes will make for less to pay proportionately higher taxes. The deficits will only expand and quality of life deteriorate.

Then we can have “bargain basement” sales of public property our taxes bought; we then lease from businesses that pay no taxes.

Social tensions divide us and also divert us from the future. The war on women, workers, public education, minorities and those most in need, create an immediate crisis plus diversion. The temptation for more security, money and power is hard to resist and can be with anyone. It is also hard in our demanding lives to look beyond today and not believe what sounds good. Thoughtful decisions take work, but our future and that of our children are in the balance. This is a Kansas issue, not a partisan issue!

Jim Hasselle, Lawrence

Big 12 extends hoops tourney’s stay in Kansas City

FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD TYSHAWN TAYLOR STANDS at halfcourt of the Sprint Center during practice for the 2012 Big 12 men’s basketball tournament in this file photo from March 7 in Kansas City, Mo. The league announced Friday that the tournament would stay at the Sprint Center through 2016.

Paulino, Royals blank Athletics

main at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., through at least the 2016 season, the conference announced at a news conference on Friday afternoon at Sprint Center.

The two-year extension was made public following a vote by the conference Board of Directors at the Big 12 spring business meetings.

“I’m claiming that Kansas City is a Big 12 city,” Kansas chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said. “It has been a great place for our tournament.”

The agreement also provides the Big 12 first rights

— Kansas University chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little to championship dates after 2016. Officials from both Sprint Center and Kansas City Sports Commission said they were not in discussion with other conferences about hosting a different league tournament in the future.

There was some fear, because of Missouri’s departure to the SEC this season, that the Big 12 might want to

take its league tournament out of the state of Missouri.

Acting Big 12 commissioner Chuck Neinas said that during an athletic directors’ meeting in December of 2011, the ADs said publicly that they had an interest of retaining the tournament in Kansas City. That was shortly after MU had announced plans to leave the Big 12.

“There was unanimous support,” KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger said.

“The ADs wanted to be here in Kansas City and show how much they appreciated what happened in the past.”

Zenger said he didn’t have to lobby to others to keep the tournament in K.C. Please see TOURNAMENT, page 4B

BIG 12 SPRING MEETINGS

Man with a plan

The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Ned Yost and everyone else in the Royals dugout was yelling at Felipe Paulino when Jemile Weeks took off for second base with two outs in the third inning Friday night.

Paulino never heard them.

How could he out on the mound with the crowd roaring?

Yet he whirled around anyway and threw Weeks out with a pinpoint throw, getting out of a jam and keeping the Oakland Athletics off the scoreboard.

He man- Paulino aged to get through six innings before turning it over to the Kansas City bullpen, which held on for the 2-0 victory.

As for the pickoff throw in the third, well, everything’s been going Paulino’s way lately.

“The biggest out was the caught stealing,” Yost said.

“Paulino made a fantastic throw. We were all yelling, ‘Step off! Step off! Step off!’

But you can’t hear anything out there.”

Paulino stepped off anyway and made the key out of the game, and then came back the next inning and picked off Yoenis Cespedes when he drifted too far off first base.

The two outs in tight situations helped Paulino (3-1) hold the opposition off the scoreboard entirely through six innings for the fourth time in six starts, making him the unquestionable ace of one of the most haphazard starting rotations in baseball.

“Everything is going good for me,” Paulino said. “I got in a couple of situations in the third and fourth, but I tried to put up zeroes and I did that.”

INCOMING BIG 12 CONFERENCE COMMISSIONER BOB BOWLSBY, RIGHT, ANSWERS QUESTIONS next to interim commissioner Chuck Neinas on Friday at the annual Big 12 spring meetings in Kansas City, Mo.

Incoming commish Bowlsby envisions innovative Big 12

By Jesse Newell

“

I think we should be the hardest fraternity in CITY, MO. — Bob college athletics to join.” jnewell@ljworld.com

KANSAS Bowlsby, who will officially take over as Big 12 commissioner on June 15, was far from timid during his first meeting with Big 12 beat reporters on Friday morning.

Among the topics he discussed was his belief that the Big 12 was fine with 10 teams.

“I think we should be the hardest fraternity in college athletics to join,” Bowlsby said during the final day of the Big 12 spring meetings at the InterContinental Hotel. “When it’s right, we’ll know it’s right.

In the meantime, there’s not a thing wrong with the (10) we have. I think it’s going to be a terrific alignment.”

The 60-year-old Bowlsby, who will join the Big 12 after six seasons as the athletic director at Stanford, was quick to point out the advantages of a smaller conference. That included Big

— Incoming Big 12 conference commissioner Bob Bowlsby 12 money being split in fewer directions and the ability for some sports like basketball and football to have full round-robin conference schedules.

He’s also seen the benefit of not having a conference championship game in football, saying he’s seen instances in the past where teams are “damaged goods coming out of those games.”

Bowlsby also wasn’t shy about sharing his thoughts on the issue of potentially paying student-athletes.

“I think we should never do anything to establish an employee-employer relationship between institutions and these students, because that’s

what they are,” Bowlsby said.

“There are places you can go and play for money, but universities and colleges are not among them. This is an educational undertaking.”

Bowlsby also said that, philosophically, he would have issues paying athletes in revenue sports like football and basketball while not paying athletes in non-revenue sports like wrestling or swimming.

“They certainly work just as hard,” Bowlsby said, “as the people that are blessed by having full stadia and lots of admiring fans.”

Bowlsby said there already were a few avenues for those student-athletes truly in need.

Those individuals can apply for Pell grants or attempt to obtain money through the Student-Athlete Opportunity Fund or Needy Student-Athlete Assistance Fund.

The incoming commish also opened up about his personal life, chatting with

reporters for an additional half-hour following the formal news conference.

Bowlsby enjoys golf and has had a pilot license for around 20 years, though he hasn’t flown in a plane himself in the last five years. He enjoys fishing trips to northern Ontario, Canada, and was most impressed by former Stanford football coach Jim Harbaugh during his interview when he said, “Mr. Bowlsby, I just can’t be convinced that with 300 million people out there, there aren’t 25 good football players who are smart enough to come to Stanford. I promise you I’ll go out there and find them.”

“And he did it,” Bowlsby said. “He brought some unbelievable energy to it.”

For now, Bowlsby will try to learn about his new job quickly while dealing with a busy schedule.

SEC votes for top-four playoff DESTIN, FLA. (AP) — College football’s most dominant conference has its wish list for a playoff.

The Southeastern Conference took an official stance on a proposed four-team playoff Friday as school presidents and athletic directors voted unanimously to support having the four best teams play for the national title.

The league doesn’t want a playoff to include ties to conference champions. “If we’re going to go to a fourteam playoff, which I anticipate we are, it needs to be and the fans would expect us to provide the best four teams in the country,� SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said. “And if people aren’t happy with the current system of how we rank them, then let’s

go back and look at the system that creates one through four. “I’m very open to looking at how we would do that, whether it’s a committee or a different set of data points. But I think you go back to the source of the issue rather than dealing with a byproduct of the issue and end up gerrymandering who’s going to be playing for the national championship.�

It makes sense that the powerhouse league, which has won six consecutive Bowl Championship Series titles, would want a best-four format. That gives the SEC the greatest chance to get two teams into the tournament on any given year. “I don’t think that vote was taken because it’s going to be best for this league,� Florida

athletic director Jeremy Foley. “It may turn out that way, but it all goes in cycles. I think the thought is if you’re going to have a playoff, you want the four best teams. There wasn’t one comment, ‘Well, this is best for us, this is best for the SEC.’ I think the thought is that’s what’s best for college football and a thought that that’s what the public wants.�

It’s not what other conferences want, though. The Big Ten, the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big East and the Pac-12 all want versions of a playoff that would guarantee at least some conference champions a spot in the field. The Big 12 has sided with the SEC. “Everybody every now and then has to give a little to make

Federer advances at French PARIS (AP) — Again far from his best, Roger Federer still managed to win at the French Open.

Novak Djokovic and Victoria Azarenka, the top-ranked man and woman, had much easier paths.

Federer, the 2009 champion at Roland Garros, was pushed to four sets Friday for the second straight match, this time beating Nicolas Mahut of France, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2, 7-5, in the third round. “I think for bigger guys it’s about, if you’re able to move them around enough and they have to defend time and time again, this is maybe where you can expose some of their weaknesses potentially,� Federer said. “I thought he did well. (I) struggled a little bit, but overall obviously I’m happy I came through.�

Federer improved his record number of Grand Slam match victories 235. The 16-time Grand Slam champion is trying to become the first man over 30 years old to win a major title since Andre Agassi in 2003 at the Australian Open.

For Mahut, it was the first time he won a set against Federer in four matches. “I was believing in it. I was maybe a bit nervous going into that center court, but this went well,� Mahut said. “But I’m disappointed, because you always want to do better. Disappointed I didn’t win that fourth set.�

Djokovic also advanced to the fourth round, extending his Grand Slam winning streak to 24 by beating Nicolas Devilder of France, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2, in a match that ended just as the sun was setting. “Last 15 minutes was very hard,� Djokovic said. “It was very important for me to finish the match today. I wouldn’t like to come back tomorrow and play a few games.�

No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France, No. 7 Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic and No. 9 Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina also won, while No. 11 Gilles Simon lost.

Sloane Stephens of the U.S. reached the fourth round, beating Mathilde Johansson of France, 6-3, 6-2. Of the eight teenagers in this draw, the 19-year-old Stephens was the only one to even make it to the third round. “I’m excited because now I’m going to have more Twitter followers,� Stephens said.

She will next play No. 6 Sam Stosur, the 2010 runner-up, who defeated Nadia Petrova, 6-3, 6-3.

Azarenka advanced to the fourth round and Maria Sharapova to the third. But the big surprises came early in the day when third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska and 2008 French Open champion Ana Ivanovic were eliminated.

Two days after beating seventime Grand Slam champion Venus Williams, Radwanska was routed by 2009 French Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova, 6-1, 6-2.

something work,� Georgia president Michael Adams said. “You’ve got to quit thinking, in my opinion, how the world has been. You have to start thinking about the fact that this is a new day with a new set of rules.�

The SEC would like to see the semifinal games played within the current bowl structure and have the championship game bid out separately as a stand-alone game that could rotate between some of the nation’s largest venues — much like the NFLs Super Bowl. Separating the semifinals and the title game likely would generate more television revenue than packaging them together or keeping all three in the bowl system.

The person confirmed the existence of the ledger to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Friday night because the NFL has not publicly discussed it. Yahoo first reported that the NFL has the ledger, which describes $1,000 payments for “cart-offs,� or hits which left opponents needing help to the sideline. It noted $400 payments for “whacks,� or hard hits, and $100 deductions for mental errors.

TIGER WOODS WATCHES HIS TEE SHOT ON THE SECOND HOLE during round two of the Memorial tournament Friday in Dublin, Ohio. Woods shot a 69 and is tied for second.

DUBLIN, OHIO — That other Rory — Rory Sabbatini — played his best golf in the worst weather and was leading the Memorial.

A familiar Tiger Woods was lurking.

Sabbatini played bogey-free over his final 12 holes and had a 3-under 69 in cool, blustery conditions at Muirfield Village to take a one-shot lead over a group that includes Woods going into the weekend.

Woods put together another strong round, and another double bogey that kept it from being better. He shot a 69 and was tied for second with Spencer Levin and Scott Stallings, whose morning round was interrupted by a twohour rain delay.

Rory McIlroy won’t be around for the weekend. The U.S. Open champion shot 79 and missed the cut in his third straight tournament.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland also missed the cut. Woodland shot 79 and was at 12-over 156.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Lions seniors aim for playoffs return

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Away from the football field, Kharon Brown is as personable a Lawrence High student as anyone.

Put a helmet on him?

Look out.

A rising senior for the Lions, the talkative and fun-loving Brown can channel his mean-spirited side when he is on the gridiron. It’s not as much that he enjoys it as that playing the role of the nasty lineman is what is required of him as one of Lawrence’s leaders.

Thursday at LHS football camp, while teaching through action, the All-Sunflower League defensive lineman put an incoming freshman on his backside. The lesson: When you’re on the line, it’s serious.

“I felt a little bad about that,” Brown admitted.

“The thing you want to do is make sure you’re hard on them, but they know you don’t hate them. You want them to learn and get better.”

Knowledge and improvement were some of the many goals for the entire Lawrence team at camp. LHS is eager to improve in the offseason, get back to the playoffs and make sure 2012 doesn’t end in the same fashion as 2011, with a first-round exit.

The Lions, like any other team, have lost their share of players to graduation. But coach Dirk Wedd loves the approach his rising senior class — led by Kharon Brown, Brad Strauss, Erick Mayo, Tyrone Jenkins, Drake Hofer, Jordan Brown and

Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo

LAWRENCE HIGH JUNIOR LINEMAN JARED STRONG, LEFT, WORKS THE PADS with senior Kharon Brown at the Lions’ summer football camp on Thursday at LHS. Will Thompson, all of whom received all-league recognition last season.

“Not one time since we got beat by Olathe South (37-14 in the playoffs),” the coach said, “have they sat around and patted themselves on the back and thought that they did anything special.”

Hofer, an inside receiver, said the plan for this fall involves more than a

brief postseason appearance, and it is up to the entire senior class to get that done.

“I think all of us need to step up as leaders,” Hofer said, “because we’ve been there and done that, and we know what it takes to make the playoffs.”

In order for every player on the roster to be invested, Kharon Brown said the LHS leaders must make

sure their young teammates know how difficult it is to win in November, how hard everyone will have to work and that the mission begins now.

“We’re going for a state championship,” the senior lineman said. “No matter what.”

Strauss, a 2011 first-team all-league quarterback and defensive back, said the offseason gives Law-

rence’s upperclassmen numerous chances to set the tone for what lies ahead.

“We have a great senior class,” Strauss said, “and hopefully that’ll trickle down to the underclassmen.”

No one spends more time on the field than Mayo, a special teams returner, receiver and defensive back. At camp, he liked what he saw on both sides of the ball.

“Defensively, we’re gonna be solid, because we’ve got so many returning starters and people coming back,” Mayo said.

“On offense, we’re gonna be really fast, quick, run crisp routes and stuff like that.”

Already, players have emerged as key parts of the LHS supporting cast.

A sophomore last season, Drew Green has stepped up at linebacker, Wedd said, as has Jeff Moses, a transfer from Eudora.

Thompson, a receiver and defensive back, was identified by Mayo as having the “biggest offseason” of any player on the team.

“He’s gotten so much bigger, so much faster,” Mayo said of Thompson.

“He’s gonna be a really good player for us this year.”

Wedd expects all the seniors to lead in their own fashion and contribute as LHS works toward the upcoming fall season.

“The bottom line is they all know what’s expected of them,” Wedd said, “and they all know what it takes to win now.”

LHS will participate Sunday and Monday at Emporia State University’s contact camp with a number of other high school teams.

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

KU signee Ellis named national player of the year

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Incoming Kansas University forward Perry Ellis has been named high school boys basketball player of the year, the Nat i o n a l H i g h School Coaches Association announced Ellis Friday.

Ellis, a 6-8, 220-pounder out of Wichita Heights, averaged 25.8 points and 9.8 rebounds a game last season for the four-time defend-

ing state champions. The McDonald’s All-American and four-time Kansas Gatorade Player of the Year, who is ranked No. 24 overall in the Class of 2012 by Rivals.com, finished his career as leading scorer in Wichita City League history (2,231 points). He passed former KU center Greg Dreiling, now runner-up with 1,888 points.

The mission statement of the NHSCA, which was formed in 1989, is to provide leadership and support to coaches and administrators and their programs. The NHSCA selects National Coaches and Senior Athletes of the Year in 22 boys and girls sports.

Graduates Royals honored as scholarathletes

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

J-W Staff Reports

Eudora’s Derek Webb and Alex Whitten, and Lawrence High’s Anthony Buffalomeat are in select company.

The three Douglas Countians are among 13 May high school graduates chosen as scholarathletes by the Sunflower Chapter of the National Football Foundation.

In addition, Eudora’s Gregg Webb has been tapped winner of the Don Fambrough Coach of the Year award.

All will be feted at the chapter’s annual recognition dinner at 6:30 p.m.

June 13 at KU’s Anderson Family Football Complex.

The chapter will also honor long-time high school football official Terry Kenny.

Yuniesky Betancourt came off the disabled list to provide an RBI double in the first, and Mike Moustakas added an RBI blooper to left later in the inning, helping Kansas City win for only the sixth time in 23 games at Kauffman Stadium this season.

Both of the Royals’ runs were charged to Bartolo Colon (4-6), who recovered from a sloppy start to last seven innings — an encouraging outing after going 1-3 with a 7.92 ERA in May. Jonathan Broxton worked a perfect ninth for his 12th save.

“I was able to throw some strikes,” said Broxton, who was facing the A’s for the first time since back-to-back hit batters gave Oakland a victory on the Royals’ opening road trip. “I started elevating, and once I started elevating, they started swinging right through it.”

Notes: Cespedes (strained left hand) came

O Merv to visit UNM: Former KU forward Merv Lindsay will take a recruiting visit to the University of New Mexico next week.

He scored 11 points off 5-of-11 shooting while logging 2.2 minutes a game in 12 games his freshman season at KU. O Royce’s dad dies: Former NBA standout Orlando Woolridge, the father of former KU guard Royce Woolridge, died Thursday at the age of 52 in Mansfield, La. The coroner told the AP Woolridge died while under hospice care for a chronic heart condition. Royce Woolridge will be a sophomore at

Washington State this season.

O No news on recruiting trail: Nothing is new regarding the recruiting status of Milton Doyle, a 6-4 senior guard from Chicago’s Marshall High, who visited KU in mid-May. Doyle, who decommitted from Florida International following the firing of Isiah Thomas as coach, has not made any other campus visits. It is believed Doyle will likely attend KU if he, as expected, qualifies academically.

He’s still in school with graduation set for June 9.

Meanwile, Anrio Adams, a 6-3 senior guard from Seattle, who orally

committed to KU last November, also figures to join the KU team as a freshman, if he, as expected, qualifies academically.

Doyle and his family members are not commenting publicly on his recruitment at this time.

The third-team Chicago Tribune all-stater averaged 19 points, seven rebounds and nearly five assists a game last season.

Adams has posted periodically on Facebook and Twitter that he will be KU bound sometime in June.

Adams averaged 23.0 points and 6.0 assists a game last season and was named the Associated Press Class 3A basketball player of the year in the state of Washington.

“Aspirationally, that’s what I want us to be.”

Other notes from Friday’s Big 12 meetings ...

Q Oklahoma State president Burns Hargis, who serves as the chairman of the league’s board of directors, announced that the conference would be distributing about $19 million to each of the eight remaining league schools from the 2011-12 season.

The aggregate Big 12 pool is an all-time high and includes the withdrawal fees of Missouri and Texas A&M, though $10 million of those fees were used to finance a loan to West Virginia.

Q Acting Big 12 commissioner Chuck Neinas said that there were three scheduled meetings in June to discuss college football’s new playoff format, and that his hope was that the NCAA could come conclusion on the new postseason format before June 26.

Big 12 officials once again reiterated their belief that a four-team playoff was best, and that those four schools should be the highest-ranking teams using a yet-to-be-determined ranking system.

After attending Big 12 football media days in late July, Bowlsby will fly to London as a member of the U.S. Olympic Committee.

He’s also set the goal of making it to each of the Big 12 campuses during his first 30 to 60 days on the job.

“I’m high-energy,” Bowlsby said. “I don’t allow a lot of grass to grow around my feet. I like to be proactive on issues.”

This job will certainly be different than his last.

Instead of overseeing 300 employees like he did at Stanford, he’ll be in charge of about 30 in the Big 12 office.

And instead of a $90 million budget, he’ll oversee a budget of $10 million or so that the Big 12 operates on its own.

Even before his first official day, Bowlsby has high ambitions.

“I would like the Big 12 to be the most highly competitive and most innovative conference in college athletics,” Bowlsby said.

FSHS shortstop in All-Star game Recent Free State High graduate Sam O’Brien will represent Kansas in the 12th annual Mo-Kan Softball All-Star Series.

O’Brien, a senior shortstop for the Firebirds this past spring, was one of 16 seniors selected to play on the Kansas side against Missouri.

The best-of-three series begins at 5 p.m., Monday, June 11 at the Shawnee Mission School District Softball Complex.

FSHS softball coach Lee Ice will serve as an assistant coach for Kansas.

Kansas has a 7-4 record against Missouri in the annual softball series.

FSHS soccer duo named All-League Two junior members of Free State High’s girls soccer team received honorable mention on the 2012 All-Sunflower League team.

Both Rylee Fuerst and Madeline Caywood received the distinction.

Tournament CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“I say this as a native Kansan who’s been to multiple Big Eight tournaments and Big 12 tournaments. It’s not something we think about in Kansas City. Anyone in the Kansas City area looks at Kansas City as Kansas City. It’s its own entity,” Zenger said. “It’s in both Kansas and Missouri, and we shop in stores on both sides of the line, and we eat in restaurants on both sides of the line. When you’re in Kansas City, that’s just not something ... I think we all know, you don’t contemplate that on a daily basis.”

The Big 12 men’s basketball tournament has been held in Kansas City 11 times since the league began in 1996-97, which is more than any other city.

The agreement means that K.C. will play host to the Big 12 tournament for seven straight years through 2016. The last time the tourney was played outside of Sprint Center was in 2009, when it was played at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City.

Gray-Little said she was pleased the event would remain in the location that contains the largest collection of KU alumni in the world.

“We’ve had a little bit of luck here in Kansas City,” Gray-Little said, “so I think it’s a great place to have the tournament.”

KU has won six of 11 Big 12 men’s basketball tournaments that have been in Kansas City.

“It’s good for us, but I think it’s good for the entire Big 12, too,” KU men’s basketball coach Bill Self said. “Our fans are close, the College Basketball Hall of Fame is great and the Sprint Center is a first-class facility. Kansas City does a great job and makes it enjoyable for the student-athletes and fans.

They did that with the Big Eight way back and carry that on with the Big 12 today.”

Neinas also said a major reason the conference elected to stay in K.C. was attendance. He said that frequently the Big 12 men’s basketball tournament is a “hard” sellout, meaning every one of the tickets is sold.

Some tournaments still claim sellouts when a few hundred tickets are not purchased.

One big reason for the strong sales is the presence of KU supporters at the event.

“I would thank our fanbase for what they’ve done here over the years and encourage them to continue to be even more rabid,” Zenger said, “so that we can continue this tournament here for years to come.”

with 99 seconds to play.

James threw the ball away underneath, then missed a 3-point attempt the next time down — one of only four shots he took in the fourth quarter.

Pierce found Garnett for a long jumper at the other end, and the teams began emptying their benches.

Coming off his 44-point effort in the Game 2 loss in Miami, in which he played every second of regulation and overtime, Rondo was 9 for 16 from the field and grabbed six rebounds.

Celtics coach Doc Rivers said he had little to tell Rondo on the day off.

“I’m like a pitcher throwing a no-hitter: you stay away from that joker,” Rivers said. “The guy scored 44 points, what can I possibly tell him?”

Mostly: Get the ball to Garnett.

Many of Garnett’s baskets were lobbed to him under the rim. Boston outscored Miami 58-46 on points in the paint, and Garnett was the reason why.

“He (Rivers) kept preaching to just throw it up to him,” Rondo said.

“They went small, and no one can jump as high as Kevin. He stood up to the rim, and he went up and got most of them.”

Marquis Daniels led the Boston bench with nine points and five rebounds in 18 minutes.

Wade scored 18 points and Mario Chalmers had 14 points and six assists for Miami. Shane Battier was scoreless, missing all six shots, and Ronny Turiaf had three points while tangling with Garnett under the basket for much of the game.

The Celtics center, who has appeared rejuvenated during these playoffs at the age of 36, got called for another technical foul for a violent elbow but otherwise seemed to be enjoying himself. While waiting to inbound the ball in the second quarter, he highfived a young child sitting courtside in a No. 5 Celtics jersey.

At the other end, after behind slammed hard to the court by Udonis Haslem, he did a series of crowd-pleasing pushups.

Wade was 9 for 20 from the field and did not shoot a free throw in the game.

James, who shot 24 free throws in Game 2, making 18, was 1 for 5 from the line.

James hit seven of his first nine shots, before making one of the next six. That helped Boston score the last eight points of the first quarter and the first seven of the second to turn a six-point deficit into a nine-point lead. Much of it came with Dooling and Daniels on the court for Boston.

Notes: During the first timeout, the Celtics acknowledged Boston Globe columnist Bob Ryan, who is retiring this summer.

GM Danny Ainge was one of the first to stand and applaud. ... K.C. Jones, who was celebrating his 80th birthday, and fellow Celtic great John Havlicek were in the crowd. ... Miami was 10 for 20 from the free throw line.

The Memorial

NHL Playoffs

BOSTON (AP) — Kevin Garnett went hard to the court when he was fouled underneath the basket. He remained on his back, motionless, as his teammates rushed over to check on him and offer a hand to help him up.

The Boston Celtics center ignored them, instead gingerly rolling over onto his stomach before extending his arms to ease himself up off the court.

Down and up he went, pushing off the floor on his knuckles eight times for some postseason pushups.

For the first time in the Eastern Conference finals, Boston was having fun with the Miami Heat.

“K.G. plays a lot of mental games with himself — and with others,” Celtics guard Keyon Dooling said Friday night after Boston beat the Heat 10191 to cut Miami’s lead in the best-of-seven series to 2-1. “K.G. is a very focused individual and he loves these kind of moments.”

Garnett had 24 points and 11 rebounds, Paul Pierce scored 23 points and Rajon Rondo had 21 points with 10 assists to help the Celtics avoid falling into a 3-0 hole in the series.

Game 4 is Sunday night in Boston.

“They defended their home court,” Rondo said.

“In a couple of days, we’ll do the same.”

LeBron James scored 34 points, but the NBA MVP and the rest of the Heat went cold during a 7-minute stretch at the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second, when Boston outscored them 15-0 to turn a sixpoint deficit into a ninepoint lead.

The Celtics extended it to 24 points early in the fourth quarter before Miami came back and cut it to 95-87 with help from three three-pointers by Mike Miller. But James had a turnover and missed a three-pointer in the last two minutes to squelch the Heat’s hope of a comeback.

“You’re trying to fight back the whole time,” said James, who scored 16 points in the first quarter but just four with one rebound and one assist in the fourth. “We made a run but it was too much.”

Miami still trailed by eight points with the ball when Dwyane Wade missed and Ray Allen grabbed the rebound, sending Rondo on a fast break that made it a 99-89

Mets 8, Cardinals 0 NEW YORK — Johan Santana pitched the first no-hitter in New York Mets’ history, helped by an umpire’s missed call and an outstanding catch in left field in a victory over St. Louis on Friday night.

After a string of close calls in their 50Santana year history, Santana finally finished the job in the Mets’ 8,020th game since the team was born in 1962.

“Finally, the first one,” Santana said. “That is the greatest feeling ever.”

He needed a couple of key assists to pull it off.

Carlos Beltran, back at Citi Field for the first time since the Mets traded him last July, hit a line drive over third base in the sixth inning that hit the foul line and should have been called fair. But third base umpire Adrian Johnson ruled it foul and the no-hitter was intact — even though a replay clearly showed a mark where the ball landed on the chalk line.

Mike Baxter then made a tremendous catch in left field to rob Yadier Molina of extra bases in the seventh, crashing into the wall and getting injured in the process.

Making his 11th start since missing last season following shoulder surgery, Santana (3-2) threw a career-high 134 pitches.

He struck out eight and walked five in the majors’ third no-hitter this season.

“Amazing,” Santana said. “Coming into this season I was just hoping to come back and stay healthy and help this team, and now I am in this situation in the greatest city for baseball.”

Phil Humber pitched a perfect game for the Chicago White Sox at Seattle on April 21 and Jered Weaver of the Los Angeles Angels no-hit Minnesota on May 2.

Santana got a warm ovation as he headed out to the mound for the ninth inning, and the two-time Cy Young winner quickly retired Matt Holliday and Allen Craig on shallow fly balls.

With the crowd of 27,069 on its feet in a frenzy, World Series MVP David Freese went to a 3-2 count before his foul tip was caught by Josh Thole, just activated from the disabled list earlier in the day.

The Mets rushed out of the dugout and mobbed Santana in a raucous dogpile as security tackled a fan who ran onto the field near home plate. Moments later, the big scoreboard in center flashed his picture and read “No-Han.” St. Louis

Landscaping LOW MAINTENANCE LANDSCAPE GARDEN TOUR / OPEN HOUSE Low Maintenance Landscape Garden tours (and plant sales) are cancelled this year. We have enjoyed the opportunity to host free garden tours in the past. However, we have decided that it is too expensive to obtain the necessary “special event permit” needed to host garden tours that are open to the public.

We do offer private tours of the garden with a horticulturist to answer plant questions. The cost for the consultation is $50 for up to 4 people for 1 hour. The cost is free if you sign up for our landscape design service starting at $400.

The garden features a large collection of unusual plants, native plants, and “hardy tropicals” Waterfalls, rock outcroppings, flagstone patios, and landscape lighting. The garden was developed for several reasons. It is used to observe plant growth and wildlife through out the different seasons. The garden was also developed as a demonstration garden to show clients plant materials and construction techniques.

The garden serves as a plant experimental testing grounds, to see which new and unusual plants will grow in Lawrence, KS. The tour is also great for DIY people getting ideas. Please remember, you must call to schedule an appoint785-550-5610 ment or 785-865-8341.

LOW MAINTENANCE LANDSCAPE GARDEN TOUR / OPEN HOUSE Low Maintenance Landscape Garden tours (and plant sales) are cancelled this year. We have enjoyed the opportunity to host free garden tours in the past. However, we have decided that it is too expensive to obtain the necessary “special event permit” needed to host garden tours that are open to the public.

We do offer private tours of the garden with a horticulturist to answer plant questions. The cost for the consultation is $50 for up to 4 people for 1 hour. The cost is free if you sign up for our landscape design service starting at $400.

The garden features a large collection of unusual plants, native plants, and “hardy tropicals” Waterfalls, rock outcroppings, flagstone patios, and landscape lighting. The garden was developed for several reasons. It is used to observe plant growth and wildlife through out the different seasons. The garden was also developed as a demonstration garden to show clients plant materials and construction techniques.

The garden serves as a plant experimental testing grounds, to see which new and unusual plants will grow in Lawrence, KS. The tour is also great for DIY people getting ideas. Please remember, you must call to schedule an appoint785-550-5610 ment or 785-865-8341.

Dear Annie: My husband and I have five adult children between us, all making a good living.

Some of our children expect us to pay their airfare to come visit us, in addition to picking them up at the airport, being their taxi service so they can go out drinking at night and letting them use our car. At no time does anyone put gas in the car or even treat us to a cheap breakfast.

During a recent visit, we made reservations for dinner with one son, his girlfriend, their daughter (who lives nearby) and the daughter’s boyfriend.

That morning, my husband drove them to the beach (10 miles away).

They then called to say they ate a late lunch and asked that we push back the reservation and that my husband pick them up from the daughter’s house and bring them home to change. It seems the daughter didn’t want

to drive the 10 miles to our house.

I adamantly said no to my 74-year-old husband.

These “kids” are so self-absorbed that they think nothing of forcing us to accommodate their schedules with no thought to ours. I told my husband that from now on, the kids must rent their own car when visiting. Am I overreacting? — Selfish Guests No Longer Welcome Dear Guests: Of course not. If your children are old enough to have kids of their own,

Science meets special effects to re-create ancient city Sending robots into the past sounds like science fiction. It’s the basis of “Terminator” and other movie plots. But now, something called a stereo-photogrammetry robot is helping a 3,000-year-old city come back to life.

The one-hour special “City Beneath the Waves: Pavlopetri” (7 p.m. Saturday, Discovery) uses computer-generated imagery (CGI), acoustic and digital maritime survey techniques and robots to map a city submerged since the year 1000 B.C. ‘‘Waves” will explore a city from the Bronze Age to the Mycenaean Age — a time of Greek myths, heroes and legends. What was it like to walk Pavlopetri’s streets, worship at its temples, gather in its courtyards and mourn at its many tombs? An interesting marriage of serious archaeology and movie special effects, “Waves” draws upon the thousands of artifacts that have been found at the site off the southern coast of Greece since its rediscovery in 1967.

Saturday’s other highlights

Leading up to the second season finale of “Game of Thrones” on Sunday, the HBO Zone channel will air a continuously repeating marathon of the first nine episodes of “Thrones” (5 p.m.).

The Los Angeles Kings and New Jersey Devils meet in the NHL Stanley Cup Finals (7 p.m., NBC).

The Detroit Tigers host the New York Yankees in Major League Baseball action (6 p.m., Fox).

Wealthy individuals live among the less fortunate on three repeat episodes of “Secret Millionaire” (7 p.m., 8 p.m., 9 p.m., ABC). A new season kicks off Sunday.

Stand-up observations on “Bill Bellamy: Crazy, Sexy, Dirty” (7 p.m., Showtime).

Ching-He Huang hosts “Easy Chinese” (7:30 p.m., Cooking) for a second season.

Saturday series Too many dummies on “Rules of Engagement” (7 p.m., CBS) ...

An office romance beckons on “How to Be a Gentleman” (7:30 p.m., CBS).

A poker game breaks up early on “CSI: Miami” (8 p.m., CBS).

they should not need to be driven around by their parents. But we recommend a tactful approach.

For the next visit, simply say, “We wish we could pick you up at the airport, but it won’t be possible.

We suggest you rent a car so you can have your independence.” You also can mention how nice it would be if they treated their folks to a meal once in a while to thank them for their hospitality.

Dear Annie: I am a divorced woman in my 50s and the mother of two beautiful daughters.

When they were born, we chose to pass on my first name to both girls as a middle name. It’s been a family tradition for the past four generations.

Recently, my eldest daughter informed me that she legally replaced her middle name with her maiden name. I was stunned that the name I passed on to her with pride was cut out en-

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You simply cannot control a partner or loved one. Let this person do what he or she wants.

Tonight: You will have a good time.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Pace yourself, and focus your energy on a fun hobby. Listen to your instincts with a difficult family member. Tonight: Play it easy.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Toss yourself into whatever is going on. Enjoy yourself and say “no” to anything that seems taxing today. Tonight: Let the good times rock and roll.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) If you need time at home, just say so. You might be deep into a project or hobby that you probably will choose not to share or talk about. Tonight: Invite a favorite person over.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your high energy and directness are charming qualities

when it comes to other signs, but people are not used to you being like this. A little subtlety for a while just might help until everyone adjusts. Tonight: Get to know someone better.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Catch up on what is going on behind the scenes. Verify a judgment that you made yesterday.

Tonight: Be easygoing.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Spread your wings and do whatever you want. Listen to a friend who might be overly assertive. Tonight: Go where crowds are.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Whether you’re off to the mountains, an ocean or a lake, or you are going to handle a responsibility, you’ll relax and work through tension. You just need a change of scenery. Tonight: Check out a new restaurant.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Go off and do something you have wanted to do for a long time, even if it means taking a drive. Invite a friend or loved one along. Tonight: Whatever you want.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Make a command performance, but do invite a friend, family member or loved one along.

You’ll discover that what you had been reticent about is a piece of cake. Tonight: Where your friends are.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) If your mind is wandering, why not allow your body to follow? How you visualize a situation or person could be far different from reality. Tonight: Great food, great company.

I’d like to ask why she made this choice, but I’m afraid it might make her think I’m too sensitive and she won’t share future decisions with me.

Danger sign for U.S. economy: Job growth disappoints

By Paul Wiseman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The American economy is in trouble again.

Employers in the United States added only 69,000 jobs in May, the fewest in a year and not even close to what economists expected. For the first time since June, the unemployment rate rose, to 8.2 percent from 8.1 percent.

It was the third month in a row of weak job growth and further evidence that, just as in 2010 and 2011, a winter of hope for the economy has turned to a spring of disappointment.

“This is horrible,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at High Frequency Economics, a consulting firm.

The job figures, released Friday by the Labor Department, dealt a strong blow to President Barack Obama at the start of a general election campaign that will turn on the economy.

They also deepened the pessimism of investors, who even before the report was released were worried about a debt crisis in Europe with no sign of solution and signs of a slowdown in the powerhouse economy of China.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 275 points, its worst day of the year, and for the first time was down for 2012. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index is almost 10 percent below its 2012 high, the traditional definition of a market correction.

Mitt Romney, who on Tuesday cleared the number of convention delegates required to win the Republican presidential nomination, told CNBC that the report was “devastating.”

He called for an emphasis on energy development, pledged to “kill” the health care overhaul that Obama saw through in 2010 and said he would reduce taxes and govern-

ment spending. The clearest fix for the economy, he said, was to defeat Obama.

“It is now clear to everyone that President Obama’s policies have failed to achieve their goals and that the Obama economy is crushing America’s middle class,” said Romney, the former Massachusetts governor.

Obama, in Minnesota, pushed a proposal to expand job opportunities for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. He said that the economy is not creating jobs “as fast as we want” but vowed that it would improve.

“We will come back stronger,” he said. “We do have better days ahead.”

Alan Krueger, head of the president’s Council of Economic Advisers, pointed out that the country has added jobs for 27 months in a row, including 4.3 million jobs in the private sector.

Underscoring the challenge for Obama with

‘Anything goes’ now in campaign financing?

WASHINGTON — Is it “anything goes” now in America’s campaign finance system?

John Edwards is acquitted of using campaign cash as hush money.

There’s an explosion of high-dollar super political action committees in the presidential race. It’s all stoking criticism of revisions and regulatory loopholes in a system that was intended to keep better control of political money after Watergate.

Loosening the law has made it easier for politicians to butt up against the legal line — if not cross it — and for wealthy Americans to influence who wins office, from the White House on down.

All told, the immense amount of money in American campaigns, the cozy relationships between candidates and their financial backers — and now, too, a seem-

ing lack of accountability for alleged rule-breakers — is fueling the public’s long-standing distrust of its politicians and doubts about the credibility of the system.

“There’s not much for voters to have faith in,” says Trevor Potter, a former Federal Election Commission member and a proponent of campaignfinance reform. “We don’t have much of a campaignfinance system at this stage, and we are wide open to the possibilities of corruption.”

Spanning many weeks, the Edwards trial in North Carolina showcased what prosecutors said was a classic case of misusing campaign funds: Here was a former presidential candidate, they said, who channeled large sums of money from a deep-pocketed donor to cover up a love child and a mistress.

But jurors acquitted Edwards, in part because the statute he was charged under required him to know

he was breaking the law.

Jurors said the government didn’t prove that.

Said one, Sheila Lockwood: “I just felt that he didn’t receive any of the money, so you can’t really charge him for money that he got.”

Campaign finance laws have changed remarkably since Edwards ran for the White House four years ago.

Had he been a candidate this year, and had his backers wanted to help him, they could have established a super PAC and donated unlimited amounts of money that could have been used in any number of ways. It’s unclear if that still would have been legal for the uses in his case, although the super PACs have been able to take more risks than the campaigns they support. Super PACs are barred from coordinating with a candidate.

But it doesn’t seem that clarity is coming anytime soon. The FEC can’t agree on new regulations.

SANFORD, FLA. — A judge on Friday revoked the bond of the neighborhood watch volunteer charged with murdering Trayvon Martin and ordered him returned to jail within 48 hours, saying George Zimmerman and his wife misled the court about how much money they had available when his bond was set at $150,000.

Prosecutors claim Zimmerman had $135,000 available that had been raised by a website he set up. Zimmerman’s wife, Shellie, testified at the bond hearing in April that they had limited funds

Around the world, Bloomberg soda decree hard to swallow Associated Press

LONDON — New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has proposed a ban on the sale of large sodas and other sugary drinks in restaurants, delis and movie theaters in the hopes of combating obesity. Under his plan, sugary drinks would be limited to 16 fluid ounces — almost half a liter.

Around the world, portion sizes are generally smaller. Perceptions of American overconsumption have been fueled by films such as “Super Size Me” and the spread of U.S. fast-food chains.

So while many global citizens reacted with a mix of incredulity, awe

other analysts pointed out, are not the problem.

An investor stampede into bonds on Friday drove the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note as low as 1.44 percent, the lowest on record.

and disgust when confronted with some of the sizes of sugary drinks sold stateside, others were less surprised.

“I know what American culture is like — big portions, not necessarily health-conscious,” Gordon Howard, who works in finance, said at a London wine tasting. “They supersize everything.”

Like Howard, many people around the world say the notion of a 44-ounce cola doesn’t hold much water for them — but neither did a ban.

Paris Cafe owner Mourad Rahmani, 30, said he can’t imagine such a debate in France. “The biggest size drink we have here is 0.5

liter,” Rahmani said, raising an empty pint glass he’d been washing. While he would never think of ordering such a 44 ounce drink himself, Rahmani said he’s against the ban.

“It’s a question of freedom. What’s next? Ban hamburgers?”

Manila At Jolibee, a ubiquitous Filipino fast-food chain that’s more popular than McDonald’s, call center manager Joy Jimenez agreed with Bloomberg’s move.

“Kids these days when they see that soft drinks are available, they will just drink and drink,” she said.

“It is part of government’s responsibility to ensure the health of its citizens.”

available since she was a nursing student and Zimmerman wasn’t working.

“He can’t sit back and obtain the benefit of a lower bond based upon those material falsehoods,” said Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester when he made his ruling.

Defense attorney Mark O’Mara said the fact that Zimmerman and his wife never used the money for anything indicated “there was no deceit.” Since his release in late April, Zimmerman has been staying at an undisclosed location for his safety.

Prosecutor Bernie De la Rionda described the Zimmermans’ testimony as “misleading.”

“This court was led to

believe they didn’t have a single penny,” said De la Rionda. “It was misleading and I don’t know what words to use other than it was a blatant lie.”

The judge said he would schedule a hearing after Zimmerman is back in custody so the neighborhood watch leader could explain himself.

Zimmerman is pleading not guilty to seconddegree murder and claims self-defense. Zimmerman shot Martin in February during a confrontation at a gated community of townhouses in Sanford, Fla., where Zimmerman lived and where the 17-year-old Martin was visiting his father’s fiancee.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

A new financial

report from GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney shows that his personal fortune remains near $250 million, about the same as last year even after a mass sell-off of stocks from his vast investment portfolio.

Romney’s campaign said Friday that his assets ranged between $190 million and $250 million, and a tally by The Associated Press put the figure at the high end of that range.

The new financial report from Romney describes sales of stocks including such familiar corporate entities as Boeing, Volkswagen and Pepsico.

Irish agree to EU pact

By Shawn Pogatchnik Associated Press

DUBLIN — Ireland’s voters have agreed to ratify the European Union’s deficit-fighting treaty with a resounding 60.3 percent “yes,” results Friday showed, but government leaders and pro-treaty campaigners alike expressed relief rather than joy because of the stark economic challenges ahead.

The treaty’s approval, after weeks of nervousness in Dublin and Brussels, relieves some pressure on EU financial chiefs as they battle to contain the eurozone’s debt crisis.

But critics said the tougher deficit rules would do nothing to stimulate desperately needed growth in bailed-out Ireland, Portugal and Greece, nor stop Spain or Italy from requiring aid too.

Prime Minister Enda Kenny agreed, stressing in his stern-faced victory speech that the Irish voters’ verdict would strengthen his hand as he seeks, with many other European nations, to shift Germany’s opposition to boosting growth through government spending.

“I have consistently argued that budget rules alone will not be enough to overcome the economic crisis that faces Europe.

They must go hand in hand with a real and concrete growth program for Europe,” Kenny said in a nationally televised press

conference on the steps of his central Dublin office.

Kenny said EU and European Central Bank chiefs must agree on a European-wide new system for managing the toxic banking debts that brought Ireland to the edge of bankruptcy in 2010 and now threaten to do the same to Spain.

Ireland long has pressed EU partners, particularly Germany, in vain to permit write-downs of Irish banking debts that could ultimately cost Irish taxpayers $85 billion and have already given Ireland the worst deficits in Europe.

Kenny spoke by telephone with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Europe’s leading champion of austerity. In a statement afterward Merkel welcomed Ireland’s willingness to vote yes to more cuts as an outcome that “deserves particular recognition and respect.”

And Merkel mirrored the language, if not the detail, of Kenny’s call for new growth initiatives.

She said debt and deficit reduction across the 17-nation eurozone “must go hand in hand with the strengthening of forces for growth and competitiveness.” She didn’t elaborate, but in recent comments has stressed that those forces needed to be boosting efficiency and competition, not funding state investment through increased debt.
